“We are gonna have a bowl first. The wicket did get better. They will get better when we bat second. The motivation, confidence and skillset is there. Chatara has been rested,” Raza said.

Most athletic toss I have seen in a while. Raza may have breached the 1924 high jump world record with that one.

“We were looking to bat first anyway. Our spinners have bowled well and the fast bowlers have been economical. The players have been hungry. It's not easy to play back-to-back matches. Couple of changes. Mukesh Kumar and Parag come in,” Gill said.

As for the match, India register another comprehensive win in the match, wrapping up the series 4-1.
